Step 7
Sprinkle a little salt inside the peppers, then stuff each pepper with the meat mixture. Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
Step 8
Once the peppers are done, immediately sprinkle the remaining Shredded Cheddar Cheese (55 g) on top evenly. Top with Sour Cream (to taste) , Fresh Cilantro (to taste) , or Avocados (to taste) followed by Ground Black Pepper (to taste) .
